Project Background
Mooncoin: The Perpetual Journey of Engineering and Resilience
A long-lived native chain shaped by continuity, adversity, and independent engineering discipline.
Guiding Principles
- - Respect chain history. Do not rewrite it.
- - Maintain PoW infrastructure, not meme-token narratives.
- - No token launch. No shortcut economics.
- - Keep Mooncoin alive through engineering, not hype.
I. The Genesis: A Vision of Proportionality
Mooncoin was forged in December 2013, during the foundational era of fair-launch Proof-of-Work (PoW) protocols. It was established with no pre-mine and no ICO, embodying a pure commitment to decentralized distribution. Its unique supply cap -- 384.4 billion units -- was not an arbitrary figure but a tribute to the lunar distance, with each coin representing one millimeter from the Earth to the Moon. This intrinsic link between physical constants and digital scarcity defined Mooncoin as an ambitious engineering experiment from its very first block.
II. The Trials: A Legacy Defined by Adversity
The history of the Mooncoin blockchain is a narrative of persistence against a series of systemic challenges. Its resilience was not granted; it was earned through technical resolve:
The Algorithmic Correction. In its infancy, the network faced its first existential threat when an algorithmic vulnerability led to irregular block production. The community responded with a successful hard fork and mandatory consensus upgrade, proving the network's early capacity for self-correction through engineering.
The Fragility of Centralization. The ecosystem suffered profound shocks when major centralized platforms were compromised, leading to the loss of significant community assets. While these events caused market distress, the Mooncoin blockchain remained an immutable and uncompromised ledger -- a reminder that true security exists only on the decentralized chain.
The Shadow of Stagnation. The protocol eventually entered a period marked by internal friction and the concentration of influence. During these years, development was often stalled or contested by individual interests, leading to a "shadow era" where the project's progress was held hostage to centralized governance attempts.
III. Our Engineering Foundation: The LTC 0.21.4 Rebase
In the face of these obstacles, we choose to return to the essence of engineering rather than participate in speculation.
Core Rebase. This independent maintenance effort tracks the Litecoin 0.21.4 architecture. This ensures Mooncoin benefits from modern security and functional extensions compatible with the Bitcoin ecosystem while preserving 100% of the mainnet history since 2013.
Democratized Nodes (Dockerized). To counter the monopolization of communication channels, we provide universal Docker images (x86/ARM). By simplifying deployment, we ensure every user can own a "sovereign machine" to verify the truth, rather than relying on centralized web interfaces.
Transparency as Law. All updates are publicly available on GitHub with reproducible build paths. In an era of "black-box" projects, we uphold the principle that code is law.
IV. The Future: A Journey Without End
The history of Mooncoin proves a singular truth: Leaders may depart, platforms may fail, and narratives may fracture, but the code and the consensus remain.
Over the past twelve years, Mooncoin has survived disappearances, security breaches, and internal strife. Each time, we have emerged from the ashes through the persistent efforts of those who believe in engineering over hype. We do not seek shortcuts; we do not join the frenzy of ephemeral tokens.
Even in the face of current channel blockades and narrative hijacking, we remain anchored in our original Scrypt foundation. We know that as long as the nodes are syncing and the miners are active, Mooncoin never stops. Every obstacle is merely propellant for our ascent.
We return to the engineering. We return to the origin. Our footsteps toward the Moon will never cease.
